Me and my then husband were planning to become pregnant, which happened 3 weeks later. After a month of being pregnant he started to becoming increasingly distant, unaffectionate and cold. I decided to bring it up and ask what was going on. All he said was that we had “issues” that we needed to work on but he never gave a definitive answer.

Long story short, the entirety of my pregnancy with our baby girl, he was having an affair with my best friend who was also our neighbor at the time. Our friendship, her and I, was something I had cherished and had felt lucky to have someone like her, which I told her often.

The betrayal of them both has infinitely scarred me. It took me 3 years to get to where I am today. All I have for the both of them is a huge thanks. They both have predominant narcissistic personalities and as an empath knew they could feed off of me. The manipulative/gas lighting things they both relinquished on me from beginning to end was/is one of the worse forms of mental/emotional abuse. But I made it. And I have now found the true love of my life.

I never gave up. I did fall many many times but I did get back up and I’m still here. Better. Stronger. Happier!!!!
